Chapin Tribute Show To Perform in Cleveland on June 27
Chapin Tribute Show To Perform in Cleveland on June 27
February 7, 2001
What: Chapin Tribute Show
Where: Cleveland, Ohio
When: June 27, 2001
UPDATE: This was live on the front page of the site for a couple of days. Unfortunately, this event actually happened last year. Paul had a problem with Microsoft Outlook and the e-mail was just sent to the webmaster now! Paul writes, "It was a big success with literally standing-room-only tickets being
sold on the day of the concert. We raised about $1000 for the Chapin
foundation. Josh was there and said a few words about the foundation and even
sang a chorus of Circle."
Paul Feezel has written in to share the following information:
Brian, just wanted to let you know about a concert I will be involved in at
Cain Park in Cleveland. On June 27 we will be performing a 2 hour show of
Harry's music and life. This will be the 3rd time we have done the
show--the other two times were private fund raisers one associated with
World Hunger (Harry's baby). The proceeds from this show will go to the
Chapin Foundation or a charity of their choice in the Cleveland area.
Tickets will be available through ticketmaster.com and I think will be
$16.95. It is a fairly small venue around 230 seats but should be a fun
event.
Oh ya, I guess I should tell you a little about our rag-tag group. The
leader is an old Ohio State roomate of mine, Gary Robuck, who is a Rabbi in
his day job. The guitarist is a huge Chapin fan and local struggling
musician. The chellist is a librarian and the bassist is the only one who
actually make a living as a musician. Me, I'm the drummer and am the
Director of Information Services for a local company during the day.
Anyway thought you might like to know and pass it along to other Chapin fans
or put it on your website. Let me know if you want more information or
artwork.

The Latest Release
|
Sniper & Other Love Songs
[iTunes]
In 1972, Harry released
Sniper & Other Love Songs.
Thirty years would pass before the album would ever reach the CD format. Sniper was finally re-released in June, 2002.
Originally given a working title of Sweet City Suite, the album tells the story of various characters one might run into in
a city. The album features the original studio versions of Chapin classics "A Better Place to Be" and "Circle." But
perhaps more importantly (as those songs are already well-distributed on compilation CDs), the album features seemingly
lost Chapin stories, including "And the Baby Never Cries," "Burning Herself," "Barefoot Boy," and "Woman Child."
Sniper is for the seasoned Chapin fan. New fans would do better to check out
Greatest Stories
Live. But for Chapin fans who have reached the level of the
Dance Band on the Titanic album, this is the next step. Slightly over-produced and having a little of the "forced"
feel that some of Harry's studio albums possess, this album does not capture the powerfully live Harry Chapin. Nonetheless,
it captures Harry's great iconoclastic songwriting--Harry takes the story song to new heights here. But the album works best
for those ready for it; don't buy it until you are ready to appreciate it!
